Does your garden get very frosted? That's what you have to think about and
really, only you know the answer. If the answer is "very little" and not
for long, you probably don't need to worry. Ours have been down to -5 but
usually only overnight and only a few times. It's not constant here. But
if the answer is yes, it's frosty and for long periods, then gather the
fronds together, tie string around them and tie some horticultural fleece
around that which covers the trunk below the crown. If you want to be extra
careful take it indoors but I doubt that's necessary.
